Right side motor mount bolted on. You can't see it in this view but the mount extends down below and has two more bolts and a gusset - should be hell for strong. The next step is to get a couple of tack welds on the part that goes on the frame rail. I need enough strength to support the engine so I can remove the piece I have bolted to the front of the engine supporting it now. I need to get that out of the way so I can get the water pump and fan on. I get that taken care of I can figure out my radiator and start coming up with what I want to do with the grill shell. I'm also going to get the cockpit fastened down. I can then work on everything in between the two.
Went to the dentist yesterday and of course I need to have a root canal done. So now that I've gotten over the pain from the recent extraction, more dental fun and games. On the plus side, however, the Missus and I stopped on the way home and had a late lunch inside an actual restaurant. No carry out - real live dining in. The first time that's happened since somewhere around the end of February. The Missus is still very much concerned, as she should be, but you can't put every restaurant in these small towns out of business by restricting them to carry out only. We've still got the mask requirement but unlike the craziness you see on the news, no-one around here seems to care whether you're masked up or not. Hopefully it won't get too extreme again when the flu season starts. Was sure nice having a nice meal in a sit-down restaurant once again.

Hey”Bob”,
Just caught up on your blogs. If you need a planer to borrow, don’t hesitate. I’ve had one for years and you’re always welcome to use it. I’m sorry you couldn’t come to the party, we had a blast. I’m hoping the “cooties” are over soon, I’d love to play some cards! Talk to you soon, TVI
Thanks for the offer - I'll keep that in mind. Glad the party went well and all the best on your retirement. You've put in a lot of years and a lot of long hours over those years. Time to get that sidecar up and running.
Don't forget, I've got some wood for your boiler.
Yeah, I already forgot. I’ll get there in a week or so. Many hats on since I retired. Plumber, electrician, landscaper, plumber again. I don’t know how I did this all before when I was working too!! TVI
